Anyone ride around in that area much?

I worked for a mining company back in the 80's & I always wanted to ride 168 out of Big Pine on a sportbike..

Now that I've got a doublesport, I'd love to ride Wyman Creek road..(heads north off 168 just past Deep Springs)

Anyone done either of those??

168 is incredible.

Put it on your bucket list.

I can't count how many times I've driven that road...

We stayed in Bishop, and drove over 168 and up Wyman Creek daily.

I was typically in a '70 Suburban.. but all I could think was how incredibly fun it would have been on a bike! Beautiful curves, pavement dropping into the drainages instead of bridges over them..I pictured myself wheelieing out of some of 'em.. then, if I remember correctly, it gets real tight towards the top.. some 20 mph corners.. The old 'Burban just didn't do it justice..

Then Wyman Creek road.. damn.. I worked up there in Feb a couple times.. Chain up all four wheels, LOTS of snow.. busting thru Wyman creek some 20+ times.. The summer trips were a lot less stressful :)

I would think that road would be a hoot on the KLR.... I'll make it back down there one of these days....

Another road in the area is Hwy 2 Angeles Crest Hwy. It's got to be one of the best street bike trip. I'm still looking for the best dirt trail

rode up wyman this last aug to the research station and yes it was a lot of fun.
